The world of wine is diverse and colorful, and for a wine entrant, there may be a lot of blankness in the face of a variety of wines. Many friends' knowledge of wine is limited to red wine, while other types of wine may be half-understood or unknown. Therefore, most of the time, social contacts, especially at the wine table, because of a lack of understanding of wine, to see others talk about wine, they become less self-confident. Therefore, knowing more about wine culture and wine is also an improvement of your own quality. Wine as part of the table culture, I would like to understand, it is also necessary.
The classification of wine may be a little more complicated than you think. Let's talk about it in more detail today. According to the world wine definition of wine (OIV,1996): wine can only be broken or unbroken fresh grape fruit or grape juice after full or partial alcoholic fermentation of the beverage, its alcohol can not be less than 8.5 degrees. According to the color of the wine, we can divide the wine into red wine, white wine and pink wine, according to the color of the wine, we can divide the wine into red wine, white wine and pink wine, according to the color of the wine we can divide the wine into red wine, white wine and pink wine.
Red wine is ferment with red grape skin, in order to obtain darker color and tannin, wine needs longer time to soak skin, there are several ways to soak skin, the most primitive way is to step on the skin artificially, then press the cap. The most commonly used method is the drenching of the skin. Sprinkle the bottom wine onto the surface of the fermented juice to obtain the color and tannins of the grape skin. The colors of different red wines can be described as purple-ruby red-garnet red-brick red-brown
White wine is made from white grapes or red grapes. So, in theory, all the grapes can be made into white wine. In many times in the country, white is easily associated with some bad things, so wine consumption is relatively slow, but the good acidity of white wine is especially suitable for food. Therefore, the international consumption of white wine is almost the same as red wine. Some of the finest white wines are also very expensive and are no less expensive than red wines.
Peach red wine is made by short-term fermentation of red grape skin with peach-red, or rose-colored, and sometimes the peach-red is also called rose-red. Red wine may take a long time to dip in the skin, while the peach red wine will be soft-soaked for only 12 hours to get the right color. In recent years, peach red wine is popular in the international market. Sometimes it's a bit of a sweet feeling, especially the ladies' green. by suga
After the wine has been brewed, it is divided according to the amount of residual sugar contained in the wine. The most sensitive to sugar is the tip of the tongue. In 1000ml's wine, when the residual sugar content of the wine is less than 4G, the tip of the tongue does not feel sweet, we call this sugar-rich wine dry wine. Excessive sugar intake is not too good for human health, so from a healthy point of view, it is very good to choose more dry wines.
According to this standard, when sugar is in 4g-12g, we call semi-dry wine, 12g-45g, semi-sweet wine, sugar content more than 45g, is sweet wine.
Famous sweet wines, such as ice wine, purefaction wine are sold all over the world, and the best ice wine and expensive wine are all good collections.
Stationary wine by vapour content
When wine is at 20 degrees, wines with less carbon dioxide than 0.5bar are still wines. Most of the wines we usually see are still wines.
Sparkling wine
When the wine is at 20 degrees, a wine with a higher carbon dioxide content than 3.5bar is called sparkling wine. Champagne is a famous sparkling wine. But champagne is the proper term, not all sparkling wine is called champagne.
When you open the champagne, there's a huge impact on the booze.
After the wine is brewed, the alcohol is added to the alcohol to increase the alcohol content of the wine, and the wine is called the reinforced wine. With the unique historical condition of the reinforced wine, the fresh-keeping capacity of the wine is limited, so that the long-distance transportation of the wine can not be damaged, so that the alcohol content is artificially improved. The well-known reinforced wine has porter and sherry. Most of the market is without a strengthened wine, and we are in touch with the enhanced wines. There are, of course, a number of companies in the market that do Portuguese and Spanish wines, and more or less will run a number of reinforced wines. In addition to Spain and Portugal, Louis Glen, in the southern part of France and Australia, also produces well-known reinforced wines.
brandy
In a broad sense, all fruit wines can be called brandy after distillation, while the narrow brandy, sometimes specifically referred to as wine brandy, is preceded by other brandy names, such as cherry brandy, Calvados.
Understanding the classification of these wines is the beginning of our understanding of wine. I hope that we will like wine more and more, know more about wine, and improve our taste in life.
